Meet Glavis...the best dog EVER

 We got Glavis from a shelter when we got home from our honeymoon (50 years ago) She was with us for 12 years, through a move to Italy, the birth of our two children...everything a young family goes through.  She was truly the best dog...we've never gotten another after losing her. Glad I found a photo I could paint
